The Two VILE.

Will SellclI and Will Longwell, we mean;
one prosperous, young dry goods merchant,
the other the popular teller of the First
National Bank, who being fatigued with their
labors and desiring little recreation, drove
over to our neighboring city of kalamazoo
last Sunday. Just what special attraction
detained them. we do not know-they are
both susceptible, young bachelors-but, at
all events, it was past midnight when they
started for home and they were tired and
sleepy and, knowing that their steed was
familiar with the route, they tied up the lines
and resigned themselves into the arms of
Morpheus. When they awoke, the sun was
shining brightly and they found themselves
somewhere in the vicinity of Schoolcraft.
Their horse had betrayed them, taken the
wrong road and was fastening for Indiana.
AS soon as the boys got their visual organs
in working order, they tumbled to the situa-
tion, turned squarely around and, by doing
considerable fast driving, managed to reach
home in time for a late breakfast. Next
time they will divide themselves into watches
and not both go to sleep at once.

Our Fire Department.

Some people are bound to criticise, no
matter how good thing may be, even il
they have TO invent false statements on
which to base their criticisms. We are led
to make the above remark by the fact that
some folks think they could have managed
the fire department 80 much better than did
the fremen themselves, at the recent fire in
this village. Among other things, il was re
ported than the fire under the boiler was not
started until the engine was in position at
the cistern-a statement for which there was
not the slightest foundation, as the torch was
applied at the earliest practicable moment,
just as soon as the engine was run ont of the
engine house. Sensible people are loud in
their praises of the excellent work done by
the tiremen, and it is only few carping
critics who find fault with them. Anyone
viewing the premises after the fire will won
der how they succeeded in extinguishing the
flames before the entire block was consumed.
The fact is that they did excellent work, and
our citizens Ill general are proud of having
SO good fire company, one of the best vol
unteer departments in Michigan.

RAILROAD GOSSIP.
Reports Concerning Jay Gould's Intsn-
tions in the West.

Copyright, 1887, BY tts California Associated Press
NEW YORK, October 14th.-ISpecial. There
is much gossip here concerning Gou!d's inten-
tions as to the extension of the Missouri Pacific
system of railroads. While it is reported that
construction is to be curtailed, there is also
belief that the main stem will be pushed west
ward, with the ultimate object of a California
outlet. The line will be completed to Pueblo
next month and this has caused renewal of
the rumors concerning the close relation of
Gould to the Denver and Rio Grande system.
Gould has been reported to be the virtual owner
of the Denver in some quarters, while in others
he has been stated to have made contracts with
that road for the exclusive use of its third
standard gaugel track, now building. and
which will be soon completed. Both of these
rerorts are officially denied
The Secretary of the Denver and Rio Grande
Company says that Gould has no interest in that
road beyond the friendly relations that the
Denver has with all its neighbors. As to the
report about Gould having contracted for the
use of the Denver's third track, when his line
shall have reached Pueblo, the same official
says they are unfounded. Gould will, however,
be offered the same privilege of using the new
line as any other roads with Pueblo connec-
tons This will give the Missouri Pacific rs
good route throuS Sh a mountain country as its
rival the AtchiSon, Topeka and Santa re.
The Denver and Rio Grande people say that
Gould would have some difficulty in leasing the
line from their western terminus to the Pacific,
and say that if he wants to get there he will
build an entirely new line.
MORE IN THE SAME CONNECTION.
SANTA FE, october 14th.-The announcement
is made that l. W. Hallmen and other capitalists
of Southern California have Incorporated a new
transcontinental railroad to run from San Pedro
Bay to Salt Lake City, in the interest of the
Missouri Pacific. This, with the fact that the
Denver and Rio Grande is being widened to
broad gauge between Pueblo aud Salt Lake City >
goes long way toward confirming the rumOr
that close traffic arrangement exists between
these two companies 1t is understood that
when the San Pedro and Salt Lake line is COM
pleted the Missouri Pacific will run throuph
trains between ST. Louis and Los Angeles over
these roads.
